As bad as I believe Obama is, as bad as I believe both Bush's were, Lyndon Baines Johnson in my opinion was the president that did more destruction to this country than any president before or since.
Memories, may be beautiful and yet what's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we remember
whenever we remember
the way we were.
...sums it up nicely.

Among living presidents, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton are viewed the
most favorably, with 64 percent responding favorably to both. Just 30 percent
see the elder Bush negatively, and 33 percent see Clinton in an unfavorable
light.
When the same question was asked in 2014, the 43rd president polled at 46
percent favorability, continuing his steady increase in the public’s esteem
since leaving office, when just 33 percent responded that way in February
2009.
W will probably continue to rise untill he hit the nostalgia sweet spot. Clinton will slide if Hillary gets in as president and the public starts seeing him every day again.
I can see this has really, really upset that lefties. How could this have happened to their anointed one??
The O-cult here seems to be absent on this topic, not surprisingly.

And in spite of being the media darling Obama is STILL polling lower than Bush.
All this crowing from the Limbaugh Parrots (over one poll) yet when it's all said and done, the GOP will once again BEG Dubya to stay home during the RNC. Bush was an atrocious president, everything he touched turned to failure.

Lbj was the most destructive since fdr. The new deal and the great society have ruined this country and increased the size of government (and reduced freedoms) beyond imagination.
Then why have all the GOP hopefuls, since Bush left office, run away from any mention of Dubya, at a clip that would make Usain Bolt look like he's going BACKWARDS?
Reality...it's important to recognize it.
